About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a child. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and a farm animals.

I will love and care for your pets like my own! I run Southern Heart Animal Rescue a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to serving needy animals in our community full time. My schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged to suit you and your pet's needs. My home environment is full of love and attention. I do have a fenced yard, the back is 1 acre and double fenced, but the animals are always supervised outside. I have a very active family and am always taking the pups on long walks and hikes. I love taking the dogs to all the parks, exploring, swimming, and making new adventures! We have three people in our house, my partner, my dad, and myself. Between the three of us there is always someone at the house. My dogs are silly, playful, and very used to new dogs coming and going due to my animal rescue. My cats are also incredibly social and used to new animals. Animal rescue does that to the resident animals. 😊

About: Hi! I'm Mike - I love dogs, understand cats and horses and miss having a parrot in the house. I have had large dogs and small dogs, cats and parrots. My preference is to walk or care for your furry or feathered baby in your home. We can get exercise or we can just go outside for some relief. I believe in being on time and I do not mind nights or weekends. if you want your new puppy or old puppy to learn a few tricks I'll be happy to help with that as well. I would require that I spend a little time with your furry family member(s) so that we can be friends and have a great relationship prior to our first walk or potty break. Additionally, I would want to know the diet, medical history, recent vet visits, normal behavior, sleep times and any other valuable information about your happy fuzzy child. (If services are performed outside of Manchester proper I will need to add a mileage surcharge.) All pets will be the priority. If we have scheduled a service all other parts of my routine will be secondary and will not interfere with the happiness of your furry children. All care I provide for your pets in your home will be agreed-upon and for the express purpose of continuing the same quality of care that you provide.

About: Hi! My name is Beau and I worked for a 1 year with a 24 year old established dog walking and care service. With my time at the company I walked between 7-10 dogs/day as well as puppy and dog sat for clients in their apartments and brownstones overnight (sometimes for multiple nights). I’m good with dogs and love all shapes and sizes. I have spent also the last 10 years dog sitting and walking friend’s dogs. I don’t own one myself so having the opportunity to play with someone else’s beloved pup is very fulfilling for me. I work remotely so I’m very flexible for pet sits. I’m able to travel to you and your pet, and will stay near them if I am sitting. I will keep a close eye if they’re outside, or on a leash if in public. I will make sure they use the bathroom, and eat properly. You can rest assured your pet will be well taken care of.
